Joel 3
Bible PGR
1Car voici, dans ces jours et ces temps-là, alors je ramènerai les captifs de Juda et de Jérusalem,
2et je rassemblerai tous les peuples et les ferai descendre dans la vallée de Josaphat, et je leur ferai là leur procès au sujet d'Israël, mon peuple et mon héritage, qu'ils ont disséminé parmi les peuples ;
3et ils se sont partagé mon pays et ont tiré mon peuple au sort, et ils ont donné l'enfant comme salaire à la prostituée, et vendu la jeune fille pour du vin, et ils l'ont bu.
4Et vous aussi, que me voulez-vous, Tyr et Sidon, et tous les cantons de la Philistie ? Voulez-vous user de représailles envers moi ? Si vous usez de représailles envers moi, vite, aussitôt, je ferai retomber sur vous ce que vous m'aurez fait,
5vous qui avez pris mon argent et mon or, et transporté dans vos temples mes joyaux précieux,
6et vendu aux Grecs les enfants de Juda et de Jérusalem pour les éloigner de leurs frontières.
7Voici, je les ferai se lever du lieu où vous les avez vendus, et je ferai retomber sur vos têtes ce que vous avez fait,
8et je vendrai vos fils et vos filles entre les mains des enfants de Juda, qui les vendront aux Sabéens, peuple reculé, car l'Éternel a prononcé.
9Publiez ceci parmi les peuples : Préparez la guerre ! faites lever les héros ! qu'ils approchent, qu'ils montent, tous les hommes de guerre !
10Forgez vos faucilles en épées et vos serpes en javelots ! que le débile dise : Je suis un héros !
11Hâtez-vous et venez, tous il les peuples d'alentour ! et qu'ils s'assemblent !
12Éternel, fais descendre là tes héros ! que les peuples se lèvent et s'avancent dans la vallée de Josaphat ! car là je siégerai pour juger tous les peuples d'alentour !
13Mettez la faucille aux blés, car la moisson est mûre. Venez ! foulez ! car le pressoir est plein, les cuves regorgent ; car grande fut leur méchanceté.
14Il y a foule, foule dans la vallée du jugement ! car la journée de l'Éternel est proche dans la vallée du jugement.
15Le soleil et la lune s'obscurcissent, et les étoiles retirent leur éclat.
16Et l'Éternel rugit de Sion, et de Jérusalem Il fait entendre sa voix, et les Cieux et la terre tremblent. Mais l'Éternel est un refuge pour son peuple et un boulevard pour les enfants d'Israël.
17Et vous reconnaîtrez que moi, l'Éternel, je suis votre Dieu habitant en Sion, ma sainte montagne ; et Jérusalem sera un sanctuaire, et des étrangers n'y pénétreront plus.
18Et dans ce temps-là les montagnes ruisselleront de moût et les collines seront découlantes de lait, et tous les ruisseaux de Juda auront des eaux courantes, et une source sortira de la maison de l'Éternel, et abreuvera la vallée de Sittim.
19L'Egypte deviendra un désert, et Édom une terre désolée, à cause des violences faites aux enfants de Juda dans le pays desquels ils ont versé le sang innocent.
20Mais Juda sera habité éternellement et Jérusalem dans tous les âges.
21Et je vengerai leur sang que je n'ai point encore vengé, et l'Éternel habitera en Sion.
Reina-Valera 1909
1PORQUE he aquí que en aquellos días, y en aquel tiempo en que haré tornar la cautividad de Judá y de Jerusalem,
2Juntaré todas las gentes, y harélas descender al valle de Josaphat, y allí entraré en juicio con ellos á causa de mi pueblo, y de Israel mi heredad, á los cuales esparcieron entre las naciones, y partieron mi tierra:
3Y echaron suertes sobre mi pueblo, y á los niños dieron por una ramera, y vendieron las niñas por vino para beber.
4Y también, ¿qué tengo yo con vosotras, Tiro y Sidón, y todos los términos de Palestina? ¿Queréis vengaros de mí? Y si de mí os vengáis, bien pronto haré yo recaer la paga sobre vuestra cabeza.
5Porque habéis llevado mi plata y mi oro, y mis cosas preciosas y hermosas metisteis en vuestros templos:
6Y vendisteis los hijos de Judá y los hijos de Jerusalem á los hijos de los Griegos, por alejarlos de sus términos.
7He aquí los levantaré yo del lugar donde los vendisteis, y volveré vuestra paga sobre vuestra cabeza:
8Y venderé vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas en la mano de los hijos de Judá, y ellos los venderán á los Sabeos, nación apartada; porque Jehová ha hablado.
9Pregonad esto entre las gentes, proclamad guerra, despertad á los valientes, lléguense, vengan todos los hombres de guerra.
10Haced espadas de vuestros azadones, lanzas de vuestras hoces; diga el flaco: Fuerte soy.
11Juntaos y venid, gentes todas de alrededor, y congregaos: haz venir allí, oh Jehová, tus fuertes.
12Las gentes se despierten, y suban al valle de Josaphat: porque allí me sentaré para juzgar todas las gentes de alrededor.
13Echad la hoz, porque la mies está ya madura. Venid, descended; porque el lagar está lleno, rebosan las lagaretas: porque mucha es la maldad de ellos.
14Muchos pueblos en el valle de la decisión: porque cercano está el día de Jehová en el valle de la decisión.
15El sol y la luna se oscurecerán, y las estrellas retraerán su resplandor.
16Y Jehová bramará desde Sión, y dará su voz desde Jerusalem, y temblarán los cielos y la tierra: mas Jehová será la esperanza de su pueblo, y la fortaleza de los hijos de Israel.
17Y conoceréis que yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios, que habito en Sión, monte de mi santidad: y será Jerusalem santa, y extraños no pasarán más por ella.
18Y será en aquel tiempo, que los montes destilarán mosto, y los collados fluirán leche, y por todos los arroyos de Judá correrán aguas: y saldrá una fuente de la casa de Jehová, y regará el valle de Sittim.
19Egipto será destruído, y Edom será vuelto en asolado desierto, por la injuria hecha á los hijos de Judá: porque derramaron en su tierra la sangre inocente.
20Mas Judá para siempre será habitada, y Jerusalem en generación y generación.
21Y limpiaré la sangre de los que no limpié; y Jehová morará en Sión.
King James Version
1For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
7Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
8And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
12Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
World English Bible
1“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,
3and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
4“Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.
5Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
6and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.
7Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;
8and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it.”
9Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
10Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’
11Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
12“Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”
14Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
16The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
17“So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
18It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; and a fountain will flow out from the LORD’s house, and will water the valley of Shittim.
19Egypt will be a desolation and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the LORD dwells in Zion.”
